Absolutely ridiculous. The penultimate paragraph sums up the s**t show football has become.

And after all that, their squad is still sh!te in the context of challenging for the title.

Personally think there should be a hard cap on the number of players you can own as well as register. The hard cap should exist at academy age group level as well as the senior men's group.

Would need to have some flex for long term injuries, development as well but they need to do something to stop the talent hoarding that goes on.

None of them are any good, but 8 is impressive when you can only field 1.

There's surely a decent midfielder & centre forward in there that we can pick up, or loan for the season.
They mightn't even notice one is gone with that size of a playing staff; I mean, Kevin McAllister's whole family were sitting on a plane before his mother finally realised that he was left behind at their house.

Perhaps they should stockpile managers in the same way as players and loan some out while rotating the others.

They're signing another one, according to the bottom of this article. Unless you've counted him towards the eight.

Already counted, but yeah at this rate they'll soon have a first 11 entirely of keepers!

And then they've been moaning about selling their younger players. It beggars belief. It's not as though their squad has been strengthened that much - if I was a fan of theirs I'd be thinking, "What a waste of money".

"Meanwhile, rivals will also ask how Chelsea can keep spending amid such restrictive Premier League profit and sustainability rules (PSR).

Again, the Blues will point to player sales but have also effectively needed to sell two hotels – the Millennium and the Copthorne – to themselves for £77m, which is believed to have allowed them to remain compliant with PSR."

Fooking hell, how can you be allowed to sell a couple of hotels to yourself and remain in the rules?!?!?!

This is the cr@p environment we've been striving to get involved in. Tis a whole new world.

They signed GK Jörgensen who I think is much needed by them. If he knuckles and works with the coaches he could be their #7 goalkeeper

Is anyone sure their owner isn't secretly trying to ruin the club, he's having a very good try at least!

I think it is a deliberate plan to buy players with potential so that if they do develop they have got them in cheaper (and maybe counting as home grown) and any losses are mitigated by selling on those who don't quite make it (e.g. Hutchinson). I am sure it is financially astute.

What would be funny, though, would be a change in the rules so that clubs can only loan out a limited number of players over the age of 21. It would be like that moment you have just spent all your money building hotels and houses in Monopoly only to land on "you are assessed for street repairs"!

Marc Guiu is an 18 year old, 6'3 striker who signed from Barca. He's played in the pre-season games and done very well according to fans, but expected to be loaned out.

Also highlights the lunacy of having the transfer window open for 2 weeks after the season has started. Chelsea can just acquire players to prevent other teams buying them, then keep them until the 31st August giving themselves a 3 match head start until other teams can finalise their squads. Clubs like ours where we only have about 20 players that we want to keep in the PL squad, whilst they have 56. Hardly a level playing field. But then, the PL governs itself, and doesn't even apply the mild rules it says are in place. If ever there was a need for a regulator this is it.
